It Cosmetics vs. Thrive: CC Cream Comparison

I’ve been using It Cosmetics CC Cream for a couple years and I love it. It’s the best foundation I’ve ever used. When a friend of mine recommended Thrive Causemetics mascara, I perused their website and found that they have a similar CC cream that boasts the same benefits as It Cosmetics. Why would I try this one when I already have one I love? I was still curious. Maybe there’s something about this one that I would like even more? Plus, the teal bottle caught my eye 😉

I figured if I was wondering how these two compared, there might be someone else wondering as well. So I bought the Thrive CC cream and did a comparison. Below is a photo with no makeup, and another photo with half my face using Thrive and other half using It Cosmetics CC cream.

As you can see, both CC creams have a similar coverage and there is no clear winner at first glance. My first impressions when applying each cream are as follows.
